Bonobo
Take a look in advance
The alpha males drum their chests. The language of war hangs in the air. The law of the jungle prevails: survival of the fittest. Are we as humans ultimately nothing more than chimps with machine guns and drones, or is there still hope somewhere? In the midst of this machinery of power, Flip Noorman searches for the underdog sister of man and chimpanzee: the bonobo. The "make-love-not-war- hippie monkey" where women are in power and conflicts are resolved with sex.

The alpha males drum their chests. The language of war hangs in the air. The law of the jungle prevails: survival of the fittest. Are we as humans ultimately nothing more than chimps with machine guns and drones, or is there still hope somewhere? In the midst of this machinery of power, Flip Noorman searches for the underdog sister of man and chimpanzee: the bonobo. The "make-love-not-war- hippie monkey" where women are in power and conflicts are resolved with sex.
In a new theatrical concert, Flip Noorman, assisted by the Norsemen and -woman, dispenses with the cultural myths of the right of the fittest and rigs up a world where human nature is actually presented as empathetic and peaceful. Perhaps against better judgment. En passant an ode to the now deceased American-Dutch primatologist: Frans de Waal, of course Jane Goodall and Flip's own mother, the matriarch of a family full of men after a chronic illness of 35 years recently passed away. A program fighting against the beer cove, at the cutting edge of the zeitgeist, a series of songs that will only cement Noorman's place on the cultural monkey rock. After all, isn't that ultimately all he cares about?
